Lunch with the Clydesdale With Cory Leonard | Shoot the Sh&% Wednesday · Clydesdale Media Podcast

0:32
what's going on everybody
0:33
welcome to lunch with the
0:36
cladsdale not eating alone
0:37
today I get to sit at the
0:39
cool kids table with cory
0:41
leonard if you sit at the
0:43
cool kids table you are not
0:44
sitting with me I can
0:45
promise you that much I owe
0:49
a couple yo's to kenneth
0:51
jeffrey jody what's going
0:53
on guys yo yo yo yo yo yo so many yo's
0:58
so many yo's so it's been a
1:02
light day in like news just
1:04
in general so I thought why
1:07
not just have I have to
1:09
wait like about another
1:11
minute before I call the
1:12
show what it really is but
1:13
a shoot the breeze day with
1:16
my friend cory um
1:20
I didn't know we had a time limit on that.
1:22
That's insane.
1:23
You can't cuss within the first,
1:26
I don't know, minute, four minutes.
1:29
I've heard like all over the map.
1:31
Right.
1:31
You get demonetized.
1:34
Taylor Self probably knows
1:35
down to the second, if we had to guess.
1:36
Yeah, I don't know.
1:39
So, yeah.
1:41
So I can't call the show
1:44
what we really like to call it.
1:45
And then on the thumbnail,
1:46
I had to use the, uh,
1:48
like the Amber sand and the
1:49
percent sign to get it in,
1:52
or I get demonetized the,
1:54
the goofy it's okay.
1:56
After that time to curse as
1:58
much as you want,
1:58
you don't get demonetized,
2:00
but in the first couple of minutes,
2:01
you cannot, you gotta,
2:02
you gotta start off on the right path.
2:04
And then after a while you
2:05
can do whatever the hell you want.
2:05
That's all right.
2:06
I like that.
2:08
It's like parenting, right?
2:10
As long as we get them to like, you know,
2:12
sixteen, seventeen, eighteen,
2:14
then it's not our problem anymore.
2:15
That's it.
2:17
You're fine.
2:17
You can move on.
2:19
You can navigate all this stuff.
2:23
Oh.
2:23
So we got a little Barry McOchner here.
2:25
We got some Holly.
2:27
There we go.
2:28
Getting them in here.
2:30
Oh yeah,
2:30
Barry McOchner says Jack Farlow's out.
2:32
That's what I was actually
2:33
staring at when you thought
2:34
my screen was frozen before we went on.
2:39
In his statement,
2:40
he said that he's doing
2:42
this to concentrate on the
2:43
WFP because of his college
2:44
schedule and the pressures
2:47
of all of that.
2:49
Come on.
2:51
Now we're getting past like.
2:53
That's a reach.
2:53
I mean, come on, dude.
2:55
Like I was giving Emma the
2:56
benefit of the doubt on the
2:58
back injury and needs to
3:00
heal up and the WFP starts later,
3:03
even though it was a little sus.
3:05
Right.
3:06
I was giving her the benefit of the doubt.
3:07
Now her beau goes in,
3:10
says he can't do it because
3:11
of the stress of the college.
3:13
And if I like he was due to
3:15
graduate a year ago because
3:17
I've had him on the show a
3:18
couple of times.
3:19
Yeah.
3:21
And and what makes this even
3:24
more interesting is he's
3:26
not even assigned athlete.
3:30
So he's focusing on the WFP
3:33
as a challenger.
3:34
As a yeah, as I got to qualify for it.
3:38
So that means he has to do two qualifiers,
3:41
two tour events,
3:44
and hopefully make the finals.
3:46
That's a much more rigorous
3:47
schedule than a game.
3:50
You got to,
3:50
instead of doing a workout a
3:52
week for three weeks and
3:54
then seeing where you fall
3:55
out after that.
3:56
And he is a, I mean, he's a high level.
3:58
Like there's a very good possibility.
4:00
Yeah.
4:00
Yeah.
4:04
Jeffrey Bertrod.
4:05
Yes.
4:06
Emma, Emma is signed.
4:08
Also, isn't he,
4:13
the other people that are
4:14
out that are already listed at like,
4:16
or go and play, go and compete at Mayhem.
4:23
And now they say, well,
4:25
I'm just focusing on WFP.
4:26
I'm not actually doing the Open.
4:27
Well, in that case,
4:28
you should get uninvited to Mayhem.
4:31
Because you're taking up
4:32
space that somebody else
4:33
could be using to actually
4:35
try to qualify for the games.
4:39
It's an independent event.
4:41
I'm going to disagree with you on this.
4:43
It's an independent event
4:44
because CrossFit is not
4:46
putting their hands in
4:47
these cookie jars of all these events.
4:49
They're just qualifying
4:50
events for their games.
4:54
Exactly.
4:55
Who doesn't go?
4:56
Mayhem can invite whoever they want.
4:58
you're not you're not wrong
5:00
you're not wrong I'm just
5:01
saying that if that's what
5:03
I'm not talking about
5:03
mayhem on inviting him he
5:04
made me like whoever the
5:05
hell they want but if if if
5:09
me if I'm jack farlow and
5:12
I'm saying well I'm not I'm
5:13
not competing in the open
5:15
I'm not trying to make the
5:16
games well then you
5:17
shouldn't be you should
5:19
remove yourself from the
5:21
the competition where the
5:22
people that actually are
5:23
going is because if you're
5:24
focusing on WFP,
5:26
then you don't need to be doing mayhem.
5:28
You need to be focusing on a
5:29
WFP and get ready for that
5:30
and trying to graduate school.
5:33
I'm very, very fired up about that.
5:35
And it has no effect on me whatsoever.
5:38
So these in-person semifinal
5:39
events are so confusing to
5:40
me because truly they are
5:42
their own entities.
5:44
It is almost like an off-season event.
5:46
Yeah.
5:47
Other than now,
5:49
top two get to go to the games.
5:50
Right.
5:51
Right.
5:52
So if he wants to go do it, go do it.
5:55
But it just makes it more
5:56
confusing as a fan to now
5:59
try to figure out
6:01
Yes.
6:01
Yes.
6:20
So we know the people
6:22
competing at syndicate are
6:24
all competing for a spot at the games.
6:26
I am.
6:27
I am way that that's awesome.
6:29
Good on Wilson for that.
6:30
Like, Hey bro,
6:31
we only want people here
6:32
who's actually trying to
6:33
make the games and their
6:35
list of invitees comes from
6:36
the open and the online
6:40
affiliate semifinal.
6:42
So, you know,
6:44
that they're in on the season
6:47
from the list they're grabbing.
6:48
Yeah.
6:51
So that makes sense to me.
6:52
Mayhem is going to be a
6:54
cluster and they're just
6:55
going to put on an event
6:57
and people are going to win.
6:58
And maybe they get us there.
7:01
It reminds me of the game
7:03
spot at that point,
7:05
but now it's going to be
7:05
who's in and who's out.
7:07
Yes.
7:08
It reminds me of the first
7:10
year with sanctionals.
7:11
Whenever people were trying
7:13
to figure out how they
7:16
actually got to the games and
7:17
because it was top whatever,
7:19
and I won this Sanctuary,
7:21
so I didn't have to worry
7:22
about being top whatever,
7:23
and I won the Open,
7:24
and I also won this competition.
7:27
It was convoluted,
7:29
and I feel like that's kind
7:29
of what it was.
7:30
It was consistently convoluted.
7:34
Now we've got Wadland
7:35
inviting AD athletes.
7:37
We've got,
7:40
and they have to have like ten French,
7:42
they have to have twenty European,
7:44
and then the rest are open to the world.
7:47
You got Africa that's only
7:48
inviting people from Africa.
7:49
And Sarah Segal's daughter.
7:53
Or she lives in Dubai-ish.
7:55
She's technically in the UAE,
7:57
but the people who are
7:59
going and supporting that
8:00
competition and whatnot are,
8:03
from the post I saw this morning anyway,
8:05
are losing their
8:06
ever-loving minds because
8:08
she's being invited,
8:09
even though she is in the UAE.
8:13
They always are losing their
8:14
mind because Michelle
8:15
Baznet made everybody lose their mind.
8:18
She has dual citizenship.
8:20
She chose to compete in Africa.
8:24
Hey, bro, if I had dual citizenship,
8:26
I would compete in Africa.
8:29
And it mattered.
8:31
That was going to be the easiest route,
8:33
the path of least resistance.
8:34
Absolutely.
8:35
Sign me up.
8:36
But to your point,
8:39
we don't know any of the
8:40
rules of any... It's so convoluted.
8:43
Every in-person semi is
8:45
going to be different.
8:47
Absolutely.
8:48
Where at least in the sanctional season...
8:51
all the rules were the same.
8:53
It was just confusing,
8:55
but it was the same confusion.
8:57
Once you figured out the, the Rubik's cube,
9:00
you could figure out what was going on.
9:01
Yeah.
9:01
I'll agree to that for sure.
9:06
Absolutely.
9:07
Sure.
9:08
But not to bury the headline,
9:10
Jack Farlow is out due to a
9:13
busy schedule of college
9:16
and he is focusing on his
9:18
life as a challenger and
9:20
In the WFB.
9:21
WTF or whatever it's called.
9:23
Yeah.
9:25
Good luck to it.
9:27
I'm just saying,
9:31
just saying my girlfriend said, no,
9:32
that's all you got to do, bro.
9:34
I'm just throwing that out there.
9:39
Look, Birch knows.
9:40
Yep.
9:44
oh and so and like what jay
9:47
birch says here you have to
9:48
do the open to qualify for
9:50
most of these invitationals
9:52
most but not all but not
9:54
invitational yeah
9:57
invitational being the key
9:58
word there yeah so it is crazy
10:07
PK wants to know what's for lunch.
10:10
My wife is actually back to work,
10:14
but she's on lunch right now cooking.
10:16
We have some lean ground
10:17
beef burgers being made.
10:20
I don't know what she's making for a side,
10:22
but excited to throw some
10:25
of that in my chomper when
10:26
I'm done with this.
10:27
Chicken and rice.
10:30
Same thing as for lunch
10:31
pretty much every day of the week.
10:32
Chicken and rice.
10:34
Easy peasy.
10:36
I can eat the same shit over
10:38
and over and over again.
10:40
It doesn't bother me at this point.
10:42
Jody says, bye-bye, Farlow.
10:45
I don't understand the big, long,
10:52
drawn-out, I'm out, whatever,
10:56
I'm doing this, I'm doing that post.
10:58
I don't get it.
10:59
It's beyond my level of comprehension.
11:02
I just don't understand that.
11:03
Well,
11:05
I'm focusing on school this year and
11:06
I'm going to do the WF.
11:08
Okay, cool.
11:09
You didn't have to say all that.
11:10
You could have just did that
11:11
later on and people would
11:12
have figured it out all by themselves.
11:15
I think they're so
11:19
accustomed to people giving
11:23
them attention for all
11:25
intents and purposes.
11:25
That's just another way for
11:27
them to get attention.
11:29
Does that make sense?
11:30
That's what it seems like to me.
11:34
Andrew says,
11:35
CrossFit should make a rule
11:36
you have to do the Open in
11:37
order to qualify for the Games.
11:38
You do.
11:40
I thought you did.
11:41
Yeah,
11:41
I thought you had to sign up for the Open,
11:42
right?
11:43
You have to be in the Open
11:44
to qualify for the Games,
11:45
but you don't have to do
11:46
the Open to go to these events.
11:49
No.
11:50
That's what we're talking about.
11:51
You can go win money.
11:52
Yeah, so in theory,
11:55
Jack Forlow could go win
11:57
the Mayhem Classic.
12:00
I think he's going to, but,
12:02
and then not go to the games.
12:03
Like the second place person would get the,
12:05
would get the invite.
12:07
And that,
12:09
that's why I like what Wilson is
12:11
doing where no, you only come here.
12:13
You can do a great cash grab.
12:15
Yeah.
12:15
A hundred percent, which, Hey,
12:18
do you think,
12:19
I just think it's kind of
12:20
messed up if that's what,
12:22
if that's in fact what you're doing.
12:25
All the OG posts that have been coming up,
12:27
like the Scott Pancheck and
12:30
Rich and Ben Smith,
12:34
like all those hype reels
12:35
that they've been making,
12:36
talking about I'm in for the Open.
12:38
Like,
12:39
I get fired up for that kind of stuff
12:41
because those dudes know
12:43
what it actually means,
12:45
like for the community,
12:46
for the competition aspect
12:48
of it and whatnot.
12:50
And then these younger cats,
12:51
all they know is the sport.
12:54
The people who have maybe
12:56
haven't really ever been in
12:57
an affiliate before.
12:58
I don't, and they're just like,
13:01
I'm just trying to win money.
13:02
I think Matt Fraser was like that.
13:04
I still do.
13:05
Because once he figured out that you could,
13:07
if you go listen to his story,
13:09
once he figured out you
13:10
could make money doing it,
13:11
that's what he started doing.
13:15
Yeah.
13:15
And focused in on it.
13:16
He happened to be the best
13:17
in the world at it.
13:19
I say happened to be.
13:20
I mean, he worked his ass off for it,
13:21
no question about it.
13:22
But that's where he ended up being,
13:24
was doing it because he
13:25
wanted to get a payday.
13:29
Sorry, Birch.
13:29
Yes, also Bridges.
13:31
Thanks, Dan.
13:35
Yeah,
13:38
I... So I'm not like a rah-rah guy
13:41
that CrossFit owes this or
13:42
you owe CrossFit that or
13:45
anything like that.
13:46
But like this whole...
13:50
I'm really having a tough
13:51
time with this season as a whole.
13:57
And I'll put it as simply as I can.
13:59
I'm a Christian man.
14:01
Forgiveness is one thing
14:03
that is one of the hardest
14:05
things in the world to do,
14:07
but it's something that I
14:09
am supposed to do.
14:12
Right.
14:13
I have been hard on CrossFit
14:15
in the way they structure their season,
14:16
in the way they do things,
14:18
in the way they communicate
14:19
things for years.
14:22
But every year I kept
14:23
signing up for the Open.
14:24
And every year I joined my
14:26
community to do these events.
14:31
There was a tragic event.
14:32
Things weren't handled
14:33
exactly the way they should have been.
14:36
People have admitted that.
14:40
I gotta forgive and hope
14:42
that change is made well
14:45
here's the thing if you
14:46
want change leaving is not
14:48
going to do anything you
14:51
know what I mean like you
14:54
can complain about you can
14:55
be at your house with a
14:56
with a dish full or sink
14:58
full of dishes and just sit
14:59
there like oh these dishes
15:00
are so dirty but if you leave the house
15:03
They're still going to be
15:04
sitting there just as dirty
15:05
as they were before.
15:06
Like, if you want change,
15:07
you have to work towards change.
15:09
That's a thing.
15:10
You want something, you can't demand it.
15:13
And then when you don't get it, just say,
15:14
well, then I'm just leaving.
15:15
Like,
15:15
that's not how adult relationships work,
15:19
much less how stuff like
15:20
what we have works.
15:22
I agree completely.
15:23
There's been a whole gang of stuff.
15:26
That since I'm in the,
15:28
it'll be eight years in May
15:31
that I've been doing
15:31
CrossFit that I've seen.
15:33
And I was like,
15:33
that doesn't make any sense.
15:34
I don't like, or whatever,
15:36
but I didn't just go,
15:38
I don't like that one thing,
15:40
regardless of what it was, I'm done.
15:42
That's insane.
15:44
Like that's what crazy people do.
15:45
Um, Jaybird says how many times though,
15:49
there is a limit.
15:50
It, the Bible says there is no limit.
15:55
Um,
15:57
And then he says change
15:58
doesn't happen passively.
16:00
I agree.
16:01
But I think that there was
16:02
an event that happened that
16:05
impacted several lives.
16:08
And yes,
16:09
it impacted these athletes and
16:10
they're communicating that
16:12
it happened that way.
16:16
Um, but we're not giving the Ben,
16:18
we're not giving CrossFit
16:21
the thought or the
16:22
processing that that may
16:23
have impacted them in, in a similar way.
16:30
And so, like I said yesterday,
16:32
and I've gotten a comment that
16:35
said I was misinformed.
16:37
The CrossFit Athlete Council
16:40
is doing more in the first
16:42
few months of existence
16:44
than any other athlete
16:45
council they've ever put together.
16:47
And I know that CrossFit is
16:49
at fault for some of that
16:51
not working in the past.
16:53
But something happened nine
16:55
months ago that makes it
16:57
that they need this to
16:58
happen and work now.
17:02
So I'm seeing change.
17:06
And I'm cautiously optimistic.
17:09
I am.
17:10
I'm optimistic by nature, but that doesn't,
17:13
it doesn't mean that I just
17:15
am overly exuberant that
17:17
they've changed and things
17:18
are going to be different.
17:19
No,
17:20
I'm going into this with some caution
17:23
and hoping hopeful that we
17:26
get some change.
17:27
Same.
17:30
And they have a competitor
17:31
for the first time.
17:34
that's trying to do
17:35
something similar to what they're doing.
17:37
And maybe that pushes them to change.
17:41
A hundred percent, dude.
17:42
I don't, how I feel about, you know, what,
17:48
what the WFU is going to
17:48
look like a year from now,
17:49
two years from now, whatever aside,
17:52
it's good to have competition.
17:54
Competition pushes you to be better.
17:57
At what you do.
17:58
It's like I sell insurance for a living.
18:00
I am glad that other people
18:02
also do it because
18:03
otherwise I wouldn't have
18:04
to work as hard.
18:05
Like if it was easy,
18:06
everybody would do it.
18:07
If there was no competition,
18:09
then it just becomes a
18:11
thing at that point.
18:14
Same thing with competing on the floor.
18:15
Same thing with even
18:16
competing inside of a classroom.
18:18
It's a good thing.
18:22
Cautiously optimistic.
18:23
Good term.
18:24
Yep.
18:25
Yeah, I would say so.
18:28
The people that are out, whatever,
18:30
they haven't done anything,
18:32
refusing to look at what
18:33
they actually have done.
18:36
Like just turning a blind eye to it.
18:37
Well, that's not enough.
18:38
Just say you want Dave Fire.
18:43
Dan Church, our dude,
18:45
I'm looking forward to just
18:47
seeing more fitness competitions.
18:49
He ain't be seeing a whole
18:50
lot out of one eye for the
18:51
foreseeable future because
18:52
he missed a box jump the other day.
18:54
He sent me a picture a
18:55
little while ago and his face is...
19:00
It's like he was in Fight Club.
19:01
Dan missed a box jump and hit his face?
19:05
Yeah.
19:07
Dang.
19:08
Yeah.
19:09
Yeah,
19:09
I've missed box jumps and wrecked my
19:11
legs.
19:12
He messaged me when I put the...
19:17
Thumbnail up message.
19:18
He's like, what time?
19:18
I think I can make it today.
19:19
And I was told him and he said,
19:21
y'all should talk about me
19:22
missing my job.
19:22
Cause I said, we have no plan.
19:25
FYI,
19:26
we're just going on there and just
19:27
going to talk.
19:27
And he said,
19:28
y'all should talk about the
19:30
box job that I missed.
19:31
And he sent me a picture.
19:32
Like I had an accident.
19:37
I tipped a soft ply box and
19:39
smashed my face.
19:40
Yeah.
19:40
Great.
19:42
I never realized you had an accident.
19:45
Love it.
19:47
I think she means accent.
19:50
Yeah, the Ragin' Cajun.
19:52
One and only.
19:55
One and only.
19:56
Anyway.
20:00
I will say this.
20:02
I do want to reference this.
20:04
I think people need to see changes happen,
20:05
not just that they put all
20:06
these things in place.
20:08
They aren't blind.
20:09
I completely agree.
20:11
That is the cautious part of
20:13
my cautious part of being optimistic.
20:14
Yeah.
20:15
I want to see what happens next.
20:19
Yeah.
20:22
But if you're not sticking
20:23
around to do that, then what's the point?
20:25
That's
20:31
I wanted to talk about some fun stuff.
20:32
I didn't want to just get
20:33
into a negative dive today.
20:35
That really wasn't what today's plan was.
20:38
We had no plan.
20:39
It's real easy to get me
20:42
riled up and start ranting about...
20:45
that so yeah let's we we are
20:46
both signed up for the open
20:48
well I'm going to sign up
20:49
today we are both going to
20:50
be signed up for the open
20:51
by tomorrow yes the
20:53
announcement is tomorrow
20:55
and I wanted to like just
20:56
give the listeners a treat
20:58
I've said many times my
21:00
first ever open workout was
21:01
I misquoted what thirteen
21:04
point one I told you I
21:05
cannot remember the stupid names
21:10
Or what the workouts were for the numbers.
21:12
I can't get them correlated, but point one,
21:15
I thought was the hundred
21:18
fifty wall balls,
21:19
ninety double unders into
21:21
the fifteen muscle ups.
21:24
I was wrong.
21:24
That is thirteen point three.
21:26
Oh.
21:28
What I think it is,
21:29
or what I know it is now,
21:30
because I've looked it up,
21:32
is it was the burpees and the snatches.
21:36
Burpees to target.
21:38
And I think it was fifty
21:39
burpees to a target.
21:41
Fifteen snatches.
21:43
Forty burpees to a target.
21:45
Fifteen snatches.
21:47
Something like that.
21:48
The numbers, I'm probably off,
21:49
but I actually found the video.
21:53
Oh!
21:54
My first ever.
21:56
Um...
21:58
CrossFit open workout.
22:01
And the neon is bright.
22:04
So you may need some sunglasses,
22:07
but I'm going to share my
22:10
first ever open workout submission video.
22:12
I am here for it.
22:16
And just so you know,
22:17
the nickname at my old gym was Thor.
22:20
Everybody's called me Thor.
22:22
Thus the shirt.
22:24
But here we go.
22:27
I will share my screen.
22:30
And for your viewing entertainment,
22:34
for your viewing entertainment.
22:35
Look at that baby face.
22:37
Oh, yeah.
22:39
Here we go.
22:40
Ready?
22:42
One, go.
22:43
My name is Scott Schweitzer.
22:45
I'm in the region Central
22:46
East doing workout WOD at
22:55
Nike Freeze as my CrossFit shoe.
22:58
Love it.
22:59
So unstable.
23:02
Good.
23:02
Tape on the bar.
23:04
Tall socks, neon green.
23:06
Fifteens on the bar, forty-five pound bar.
23:10
We shared a volleyball,
23:12
a gym with a volleyball center.
23:14
We had to bring in five years to lift on.
23:17
Forty-five.
23:19
Thirty-five.
23:21
I don't even know why we
23:22
were going to do this.
23:23
I wasn't getting anywhere near that.
23:29
You can see the piece of
23:30
plywood we had to bring it
23:31
from outside to set up on.
23:39
Dude,
23:39
I love the compression socks and the
23:41
compression seat.
23:42
Touch that button when you're ready to go.
23:49
Here we go.
23:49
Three, two, one, go.
24:01
yes sir and this was very
24:04
early on in my um my
24:06
crossfit career you know I
24:08
can tell you are smashing
24:11
like just like you just
24:12
threw a brick on the gas
24:13
pedal and just let's go I'm
24:15
doing burpees well and um
24:19
burpees on that turf sucked
24:22
Oh, I imagine.
24:23
I will tell you that.
24:24
My knees were so scratched
24:26
by the end of this.
24:28
But you have to remember,
24:29
I started CrossFit over
24:30
five hundred pounds.
24:31
So at this point,
24:34
I am just trying to survive.
24:36
I can't believe my friends
24:37
talked me into doing the open.
24:39
And then when I did it,
24:39
it was like the greatest experience ever.
24:42
But.
24:44
thought that would be fun to
24:45
share um a little bit to a
24:48
snatch because it was ugly
24:51
my mobility was so bad at
24:52
this point um here we go my
25:02
my my shoulder mobility was
25:05
pathetic look how far out
25:10
in front that bar is I mean
25:14
I've seen worse, Scott.
25:17
I've seen where hell I've done worse.
25:20
Thankfully it got a lot better.
25:23
This is amazing.
25:28
So, but I thought I'd, um,
25:31
share that little, that little fun.
25:34
I wish, I wish I had video of my,
25:36
my first one.
25:37
It was nineteen point one,
25:39
which was the wall balls and rowing.
25:42
like, nineteen calories,
25:43
nineteen wall balls for
25:46
however long it was.
25:47
I don't know, it felt like three hours.
25:49
And halfway through,
25:53
maybe three-quarters of the way through,
25:56
I just, I got tunnel vision completely.
26:00
I couldn't,
26:01
the only person I could hear was Sarah,
26:03
who was one of our coaches,
26:04
one of the owners of the place,
26:06
counting my reps.
26:07
And my buddy Robbie,
26:09
who was screaming at me to keep, like,
26:11
you know,
26:11
help me out to keep going and whatnot,
26:13
I couldn't hear anything else.
26:14
And when they finally, as Cecil said, time,
26:18
I fell off the roar with
26:20
one foot still strapped in,
26:22
and I was just laying there.
26:25
And I really,
26:26
really wish there was video
26:27
of that because I imagine
26:28
it's probably hilarious to watch now.
26:35
That was a fun – so just –
26:38
the night before we did this workout, um,
26:41
none of my friends had hit a hundred,
26:43
none of me or nor my
26:44
friends had hit a hundred
26:46
and thirty five pound
26:46
snatch at this point.
26:48
Right.
26:49
And that was the next bar
26:51
after what you saw there.
26:52
That was ninety five jumped
26:53
to one thirty five.
26:55
So the night before we are
26:57
just taking swings and
26:58
attempts at hitting a one
26:59
thirty five snatch so that
27:01
if we get there the next day,
27:03
we might have a shot.
27:06
And, um,
27:08
And the next day,
27:10
my two buddies both hit
27:11
their first ever
27:12
one-thirty-five snatches.
27:13
Now,
27:14
one of them was like a snatch press
27:16
where he barely got it
27:18
overhead and then pressed it out.
27:20
Hey, bro, it's CrossFit.
27:22
It's not an Olympic lifting competition.
27:25
But the place went nuts.
27:27
Oh, I would imagine.
27:29
And then my favorite ever
27:31
workout was it was an
27:33
increasing barbell of
27:34
deadlifts and box step-ups.
27:39
And, um, and I, I hit deadlifts.
27:44
I had never hit before.
27:45
I was just like on fire.
27:47
Like that thing,
27:48
you were in the zone and I
27:51
had done things I hadn't done before.
27:52
And the entire gym like
27:55
jumped on me when the,
27:56
when the workout was over.
27:58
I love stuff like that.
28:01
I love stuff like that.
28:01
That's what gets me hyped up.
28:03
By that point,
28:04
we were out of that little
28:05
gym and we had moved to like a real,
28:08
our own space.
28:10
Yeah.
28:11
Nobody playing volleyball in
28:12
the background.
28:12
Yeah.
28:13
And doing,
28:13
doing it on rubber mats instead
28:15
of plywood on turf.
28:16
Ooh, turf's rough, dude.
28:20
Oh my word.
28:22
D Reed says snatch press is
28:23
legal in CrossFit.
28:24
It sure is.
28:26
It's in CrossFit.
28:27
Took every bit of that.
28:29
Counts in CrossFit.
28:30
I snatched a hundred and
28:31
ninety pounds at a competition,
28:32
a local competition two
28:33
years ago and it landed on
28:35
my head and I pressed it
28:36
out and it stood up and I was like,
28:39
that was ugly as shit, but it counts.
28:41
Uh, Dan Church,
28:43
my first open was two thousand eleven,
28:45
eleven point one, ten minute AMRAP,
28:46
a thirty double unders,
28:47
fifteen power snatches at
28:49
seventy five buried me.
28:51
They brought that back in fourteen,
28:54
fourteen or fifteen.
28:56
Um,
28:59
I had to do it like four
29:00
times until my double unders turned on.
29:05
That's gross.
29:06
Like that hurts because
29:08
there's nowhere to hide.
29:09
Like you're going from one
29:11
aerobic thing to another
29:12
aerobic thing and just steady.
29:13
Like that's a heart rate.
29:14
And then they,
29:16
they put it in a team
29:18
workout when they did the team series and
29:22
Um, and it was one partner did one,
29:26
one set of this, the thirty double unders,
29:28
fifteen power,
29:29
and then you switched back and forth.
29:31
Hmm.
29:32
That's going to be worse
29:33
because then over the back of our gym,
29:39
we did it outside.
29:40
Thank God.
29:40
Yeah.
29:41
We pulled like rubber mats
29:43
out into the parking lot,
29:44
did it out in the parking lot.
29:45
Thank God.
29:46
Cause I like,
29:46
I lost everything everywhere.
29:50
I can see,
29:50
especially doing it like tomorrow,
29:52
because I always tell
29:54
people whenever we have
29:55
like a partner workout that
29:57
I'm coaching or a team to
29:59
three or something like that, I was like,
30:00
yes, you are going to get rest.
30:03
It's not necessarily going
30:05
to be what you want,
30:05
because when you go to pick
30:06
up the barbell,
30:07
now you're either going to
30:07
have one or two people just
30:08
sitting there staring at
30:09
you the entire time waiting
30:10
for you to go.
30:12
so we had our our five am
30:15
crew is famous for that
30:16
they'll look at something
30:17
on the board and like I'm
30:18
not doing all that because
30:18
they've been here since
30:19
jesus was a baby and
30:21
they'll turn something into
30:22
a partner workout which is
30:25
going to change the
30:25
stimulus completely but instead of
30:28
Just going at a steady pace.
30:30
Like now it's becoming sprint intervals,
30:32
like who can finish faster.
30:33
So then the other person
30:34
gets to go and whatnot.
30:36
I'm like, y'all are absolutely insane.
30:38
Instead of doing this.
30:39
Fifteen minute AMRAP y'all
30:40
just turn this into a
30:41
fifteen minute partner workout.
30:42
That's all sprint.
30:43
Like y'all that's wild to me.
30:46
Yeah.
30:46
Yeah.
30:49
Uh,
30:50
Dan Church is coming into town this
30:51
weekend, uh, for the Arnold.
30:54
Yeah, that's,
30:54
that's starting up this weekend.
30:56
Oh,
30:57
Columbus will be the Mecca of fitness
31:00
for a few days.
31:00
Uh, that's always fun to watch.
31:03
I think cat's coming out for
31:04
that with her son.
31:06
Um, I know thick boys usually there.
31:08
Uh, so yeah, um, that'll be,
31:13
that'll be big time.
31:14
And I, the rumor is that, uh,
31:19
Thor Bjornsson is going for
31:23
the record on the deadlift
31:26
this weekend at the Arnold.
31:28
That comes up on my Facebook
31:29
memories every now and
31:30
again because I had shared
31:31
it whenever he did it.
31:33
The last time was like, what,
31:35
eleven hundred pounds or
31:36
some crazy shit like that.
31:38
And every time it comes up,
31:40
I throw up in my mouth a
31:40
little bit like I can't fathom that.
31:45
Yeah, I can't fathom that.
31:47
When they pull out the
31:48
elephant bar at the Arnold,
31:50
it is a sight to see.
31:53
The way that thing bends.
31:55
Yeah.
31:57
So I don't know if he's... So basically,
31:59
Strongman is usually done on Saturday.
32:02
And then Sunday,
32:04
they just line up like
32:05
world record attempt after
32:07
world record attempt and go
32:08
all day on Sunday with that stuff.
32:10
So I don't know if that's
32:11
the plan to do it on Sunday
32:13
in that string of things or
32:15
to do it within the competition.
32:18
because an elephant bar
32:19
would not be where you're
32:20
going to break that record.
32:22
No, no, it's got too much flex.
32:25
I don't think you can load it up.
32:26
You can load it up.
32:27
Right.
32:28
I'm with Jody.
32:29
I would love to go to that just to go see,
32:30
like, that's gotta be some stuff,
32:32
some crazy shit to watch.
32:33
It's so be living here in
32:37
Columbus would care less if
32:40
I ever went again.
32:43
Too many people.
32:45
So I used to work security
32:46
for it back before I did
32:48
this media thing.
32:50
And I escorted the
32:51
bodybuilders from the
32:52
dressing room to the stage.
32:55
It is there are so many people,
32:58
so many people.
33:01
it's like herding cats
33:02
because the bodybuilders
33:03
are so dehydrated.
33:04
They have no idea where they're at.
33:06
Um,
33:07
you're trying to get them to a place
33:09
and there is just literally
33:10
wall to wall people.
33:12
And if any of the,
33:13
like if Arnold shows up and he walks,
33:16
they shut down everything for him.
33:18
Well, yeah, cause he's got to get mobbed.
33:21
I'd imagine.
33:22
Yeah.
33:22
It's,
33:22
and he has like eight massive men
33:25
around him at all times and
33:27
they shut down aisles and they, it's,
33:30
But it is,
33:31
if you can get to an event and
33:33
get a seat or even like a
33:35
standing room part there,
33:37
it's fun while you are there.
33:39
Right.
33:43
So, but it is really,
33:47
and if you want to see vendors,
33:48
like there are more vendors at this thing,
33:52
it is probably ten times
33:54
the size of the game's vendor village.
33:59
It's just whatever you can think of.
34:02
Every supplement under the sun,
34:05
every girl in a bikini, every belt, grip,
34:11
protein cookie, you name it, it's there.
34:17
And then Rogue has a big
34:19
booth right in the center.
34:21
And usually they bring in
34:23
their athletes to sign
34:24
autographs and take
34:26
pictures and all that stuff.
34:27
And I think Sprague is going
34:29
to be here and so is Medeiros for sure.
34:35
Usually they put the
34:35
schedule out at some point,
34:38
probably tomorrow or Friday.
34:41
And then they bring – usually Rich comes –
34:45
um well he's not that far
34:46
from that right uh
34:48
cookville's a good seven
34:50
hours probably oh okay that
34:53
is far um but yeah uh well
35:00
he's gonna be well that is
35:01
tomorrow that's not friday
35:03
dan bailey's always a
35:04
throw-in because he lives here in town um
35:09
so but yeah uh it's a fun
35:11
event to do once or twice
35:14
um but the the coolest
35:16
thing I ever did in my life
35:17
is um the one year they
35:20
partnered with the wwe rick
35:22
flair comes out of the back
35:23
to do his steps right in
35:28
front of me as I'm trying
35:29
to get the bodybuilders to
35:31
stay and I have to hip check rick flair
35:40
I would tell people that
35:41
story all the time, Scott.
35:42
Like I said, if for whatever reason,
35:44
Ric Flair just comes up in conversation,
35:45
I'd be like, yeah,
35:47
I hip checked him one time,
35:48
had to get him out of the way.
35:49
He was just,
35:49
he was being disruptive while
35:51
I was trying to do my job.
35:55
That's fantastic, by the way.
35:58
Dan Bailey has not lived on
35:59
a boat since like, Yeah,
36:02
since y'all saw him on that documentary,
36:05
he pretty much has not
36:06
lived on a boat since then.
36:08
He actually lives here in a
36:09
little suburb called Westerville.
36:11
Has a farm with a barn.
36:14
Has rebuilt the barn to make it a gym.
36:17
And now he's married to No
36:19
Pants No Chance and has twin babies.
36:27
I haven't even seen anything
36:28
on his from Van Bailey from
36:31
his Instagram.
36:32
I don't even know how long.
36:35
He still used to pop up pretty regularly,
36:37
but
36:38
So he's always done the open at Polaris.
36:41
with Christie and Patrick and,
36:43
and all of those guys.
36:45
So I would see him every
36:46
open season coming in there to do that.
36:48
And then if other people
36:50
would come into town for the Arnold,
36:52
a lot of them would come up
36:53
and do the open.
36:54
So I I've been at players
36:56
when like Madaris has been there,
36:58
Sam Briggs,
36:59
I think I've told the Sam
37:00
Briggs story a couple of times where I,
37:03
she yelled at me cause I
37:04
wasn't picking up the bar.
37:06
Yeah.
37:07
And that was very, very intimidating.
37:10
You know,
37:13
that speaks to the kind of person
37:14
that she is, though, right?
37:17
Like, she's watching the open go by.
37:18
She sees some dude, like,
37:19
struggling not picking up the bar,
37:21
and she's just fucking fired up,
37:22
and we're going to get into it.
37:23
I love that.
37:25
Yeah.
37:26
Absolutely love that.
37:27
Yeah, and the cool thing was,
37:29
when it was all over,
37:29
she came over and was like,
37:30
I hope you didn't mind me yelling at you.
37:32
And I'm like, no,
37:33
I needed to pick up the bar.
37:34
Like, I was making excuses in my head,
37:37
and I didn't need to.
37:40
Oh, yeah.
37:41
Ken's right.
37:43
That one-hour palm earth
37:44
that Dan Bailey did last year sometime.
37:48
Yeah, he's a big first-form guy.
37:55
Well, this was fun, man.
37:55
The forty-five minutes flew.
37:58
Always, brother.
38:01
So glad you could be with us.
38:02
Maybe we'll make this an
38:03
every Wednesday thing.
38:05
You got my number, dude.
38:06
Shoot the shit with Corey.
38:09
You got my number.
38:10
This is my, I told Jennifer this morning,
38:13
this is my early coaching day.
38:15
So I coach at five a.m., six a.m.
38:16
today.
38:18
And then I usually sit in Norma Tech boots,
38:20
do a little recovering
38:22
before I come to work.
38:25
I never sleep well the night
38:27
before I early coach because, like,
38:28
my body's on high alert.
38:29
It's like I don't want to miss, right?
38:31
I don't want to accidentally
38:33
sleep through my alarm or
38:34
anything like that.
38:34
So I never sleep well in this morning.
38:37
Coach five, coach six went,
38:39
sat down in the chair and
38:40
fell asleep in the Norma Tech boots,
38:42
sitting in the little
38:43
office area like by myself.
38:45
There wasn't anybody else there.
38:46
And not for real long,
38:48
but long enough to where when I came to,
38:50
I went, oh, my God,
38:51
how long have I been here?
38:56
I love those deep nap sleeps
38:58
where you wake up and you're like,
39:00
is it day?
39:00
Is it night?
39:01
Is it morning?
39:02
I have no idea.
39:03
It could have been noon.
39:04
It could have been three
39:05
o'clock in the afternoon.
39:06
It had only been like twenty minutes,
39:08
but to the point where I
39:09
woke up and I'm probably late for work.
39:12
I wasn't, but it was terrifying.
39:16
So, Kenneth says,
39:19
and I'll pull this up in a second,
39:21
what kind of lunch we
39:22
having with the Clydesdale on Wednesday?
39:24
Cajun lunch.
39:24
Cajun lunch.
39:26
Best food on the planet, son,
39:27
right down here.
39:29
It really is.
39:30
It really, really is.
39:31
Oh, here we go, Charlie.
39:35
He wants a little Cajun on Wednesdays,
39:36
too.
39:37
He can jump on.
39:38
He has the button.
39:41
He has the button.
39:42
Shit, he's got my phone number,
39:43
for Christ's sake.
39:44
Call me.
39:48
it's it's funny because I've
39:49
been I'm a big gordon
39:50
ramsay fan I watch like
39:52
kitchen nightmares
39:53
religiously and he did a
39:56
whole series in new orleans
39:57
before the super bowl yeah
40:00
and uh and I my favorite
40:02
food is new orleans like I
40:04
love I love gumbo and I
40:06
love jambalaya and I love
40:09
all that stuff right and he
40:11
was fixing these people's
40:14
dishes on all that stuff
40:15
and my mouth is just like
40:23
Kenneth, oh, yes, the rivalry is renewed.
40:26
Corey versus Charlie, twenty twenty five.
40:30
Right now, Charlie,
40:31
I don't want to love you to
40:35
hurt athletics.
40:40
Are the glasses real and
40:41
have you climbed those mountains?
40:44
The glasses are definitely real.
40:46
So my office is in the
40:48
middle of the building.
40:50
like quite literally,
40:51
I don't have any windows in here.
40:53
It's like,
40:53
it's basically like being in a closet.
40:56
And so my wife got me this
41:01
and it's just a big sticker.
41:02
It's a decal that I,
41:04
cause I was complaining
41:05
about not having a window.
41:07
And so,
41:08
and she didn't even tell me she was
41:09
getting it.
41:09
It just showed up at the office one day.
41:14
And like one of the girls in the front,
41:16
Gina came back here and she's like, Hey,
41:18
something came for you.
41:19
And I was like,
41:21
I do order stuff and like
41:23
get it shipped here because
41:24
I know especially if it's
41:26
like like I got my new jump
41:27
rope shipped here I'll get
41:28
shoes shipped here I just
41:30
get from here go straight
41:31
to the gym afterwards but I
41:32
wasn't expecting anything
41:34
so I was like something
41:35
came for me and I opened it
41:37
up and I thought my boss
41:38
gave it I thought todd got
41:39
it for me and I was laughing
41:41
uncontrollably and so stuck
41:44
it up as you can see it's
41:45
nice and crooked because I
41:49
just eyeballed it the best
41:51
I could and once I saw it
41:52
was crooked I'm like I'm
41:53
not taking it down and
41:53
putting it back up um but
41:56
yeah that's my window fyi
41:59
there are no mountains in
42:01
south louisiana yeah
42:03
Justin Wilson is the best Cajun chef ever.
42:06
I will go with that.
42:07
Jay Burch watched him a ton
42:09
when I was a kid.
42:10
And Dan Church always has Corey's back.
42:13
No competition.
42:14
Corey is games bound this year.
42:17
Dude, if you make the games, we are.
42:19
The party we're going to
42:20
have at my house here in
42:22
Columbus is going to be so huge.
42:25
It's not you, Scott.
42:27
It's wins.
42:31
I still am pinching myself
42:33
that the Masters Games is
42:34
here in Columbus.
42:35
That's amazing.
42:37
For you,
42:38
considering that's your... I can
42:40
cover it and sleep in my
42:41
own bed and not pay for airfare.
42:43
Airfare, Airbnb, extra food,
42:49
all that shit.
42:50
At the end of the day, I'm going home.
42:54
The biggest expense maybe is
42:55
either parking or Uber,
42:56
whichever I decide to do.
42:58
Right.
43:00
Pretty sure we can write that one off.
43:03
Charlie says, whoa, whoa, whoa.
43:08
He signed up.
43:08
He signed up, O.T.
43:09
Charlie, let's see what you got.
43:11

43:12

43:24
All the listeners are
43:25

43:28
You'll be able to,
43:29

43:32
gets finalized and my
43:33
name's on it in that top,
43:35
whatever they take in that
43:36

43:36

43:37
yell from your house,
43:38
believe what I tell you.
43:41
Man, that would be freaking awesome.
43:43
Well, guys,
43:44

43:47
are going to be pissed.
43:48
